What happens
Dr. George Ferguson graduates from a New York medical school, high in his class and admired by his instructors, and is offered a hospital internship and a chance to work with the respected Dr. Hochberg. His sweetheart, Laura Hudson, is looking forward to their wedding, but his demanding work at St. George's Hospital keeps pulling him away from her. Tensions between the two grow as he is called in for an emergency and a difficult case. Meanwhile, a young nurse, Barbara Dennan, watches him stand up to a senior physician over a sick child's treatment, and the doctors around him weigh what the medical profession costs them personally. This is a radio adaptation of Sidney Kingsley's play Men in White, presented on the Lux Radio Theatre, with Spencer Tracy, Virginia Bruce and Frances Farmer in the leading roles, broadcast January 4, 1937.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
